Thinking of a different time
Palestine a modern problem
Bounty and your wealth in land
Terror in a best laid plan
Watching them come and go
Tomorrows and the yesterdays
Christians and the unbelievers
Hanging by the cross and nail
But if you pray
all your sins are hooked
upon
the sky
Pray and the heathen lie will disappear
Chorus
You pray til the break of dawn
(Believing the strangest things,
loving the alien)
And you’ll believe you’re loving the alien
(Believing the strangest things,
loving the alien)
(Believing the strangest things,
loving the alien)
